    Hi,

    Yes you will be entitled to the extra tax credits and you will need to contact HMRC to report the changes. https://www.entitledto.co.uk/help/severe-disability-element providing you claim within 3 months of the PIP award then it can be backdated to the start of the PIP claim.
    You should also contact your local Authority to report the changes. Though it doesn't mean you'll automatically be entitled to more housing benefit.
